Southwest Oahu Beaches

including
beach description and facilities

The South West Coast is Oahu's secluded, dry region. Bring plenty of sunscreen and water. You will find a couple of good surfing beaches, surrounded by small Polynesian communities. Surf tends to be high in this area during the summer months. Beware of Box Jellyfish that swarm ashore 7-11 days after a full moon. At any beach in Hawaii, obey warning signs, ask lifeguards about ocean conditions, keep your eye on the surf, and if you have any doubt, stay out!

Ewa Beach Park

Clean, seldom crowded beach. One of the most sunny spots on Oahu. Bring water and sunscreen.
